PURIFYING THE YARDS

Wherever about your yards there is anything needing a disinfectant see to it before you and yours have its infections breathed into your sys- tems. To do this dissolve common copperas at the proportion of a tablespoonful to a pint of water and sprinkle plentifully upon the earth where needed. Burn up all that will burn, bury or remove what will not, if they have any disease-breeding qualities. Plant rapid growing climbers or tall plants l.ke sunflower or hemp in your back yards to purify the air the season through. Sprinkle ashes over the ground where manure heaps have been removed, and better still, have the earth plowed and turned over, ashes and all. What you can not do yourself, attend to having done, and watch that health measures are continually enforced.
